Airgunner HW35E

[Benelli B76]

I have rejuvenated dozens of 35's and sent them on their merry way to a new life. The most common faults when they come in is barrel bent upwards from the breach block, barrel shims missing, open sights missing, rusty to various degrees, and when they still have original spring fitted, power down to around 7.5 to 8 ft lb.
Also see early trigger block with wider scope grooves fitted on newer compression tube with narrower scope grooves.I can get the power up to 10.7 ft.lb. again still leaving the original spring in place with a little common mod.

Ive totally renovated a couple of '35s. One I built from my parts bin and the other was so knackered I felt sorry for it. The second one turned out to be a beaut - 11.7ft.bs in .22 with NO pre-load on the mainspring.

The parts are readily available both new and second hand and plentiful. Once you have a matching cylinder and end plug all the other bits are interchangeable. Its very easy to strip so you can do it dozens of times to get that perfect piston/spring combination. Ideal for someone who wants to try their hand at renovating and you end up with a classic beaut that can still hold its own against modern springers. Re blueing was done by Collin Malloy.

Proof, if indeed any more were needed, that when the Airgun Hall of Fame becomes a rightful reality, young Jonesy will have a gallery all of his own.

'... young Jones...' The last time I was called that I was shooting rats on Noahs Ark.

I have only ever seen one Venom HW35 but then again that could have been just 'sticker engineering'.

Hi I.J.

Johnbaz, has what I firmly believe to be a Venom 35, as the action is altered just as Venom showed in their gunsmiths articles in AGW (or AG?) --- no sticker on it though.


All the best Mick

Im not saying they dont exist, Ive seen the early Venom (Trapshot Of Lythe ?) adverts, its just that Ive never seen one in the flesh.

The missing badge could soon be sorted.

Noah? Jim was a prefect at his school, you know.

Right. That's it! I was going to say off this thread, but with the threat of the massed ranks of the tripe guzzler and whelk muncher lining up against me, I have no choice other than to declare that I have never liked the HW35.

You may never see one, Cloggers. They exist but, by the time Venom started, the HW35 had been so comprehensively upstaged by the HW80, then the HW77, that comparatively few people wanted to throw money at the HW35.
